“Yesterday, WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg announced the forking of the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin into a new plugin called Secure Custom Fields.”

That’s not what happened. Nothing was “forked”. He just renamed the plugin on WordPress.org.

Thanks for this confirmation that WordPress.org is now an entirely ethics-free endeavour. My relationship with WordPress is now over and my sites will be redeveloped using other platforms.

This is theft. It is wrong. It is an assault on the millions of ACF users. It is a hostile takeover; NOT a fork. It is vengeful, and mean spirited. MM has lost all of my respect, and this will affect the contributions of the entire community; not just WP Engine.

Perhaps WP Engine will fork WordPress; create its own repo; then provide lucrative benefits to all plugin providers to abandon WordPress.org and place their plugins in a new repo. Touche!

Perhaps WP Engine will contact the Class Action Lawsuit lawyers, and on behalf of the ACF community who has been harmed by these wrongful actions, file a Class Action suit against Automattic, MM and WordPress.org.

When the Mad King goes nuclear against millions of users he is now impacting the entire ecosystem. Shame on you MM…

We need to stop this aggression, Matt behaves like Putin – taking whatever he thinks is his. No regard and respect to the law. This will end very bad for him. Bad leadership, bad leader!

As if there isn’t enough pressure on me from new platforms that want to steal business from me, but now the platform I use is embroiled in a pissing match by an ego-driven manchild. Can someone stop this guy? He’s going to burn this place down with his behavior.
